OUR BRAND NEW RESEARCH SERVICE

Make Travel Fair is launching a brand new research service designed to help you maxmise the time you spend planning a trip away and gathering up-to-date travel information.

The last thing any traveller needs is another guidebook on the shelf to choose from, another travel forum to sift through, another commission based travel agent, or a single dominating authorative travel resource; we need a way to quickly pull specific information from across all of these sources and give us the best chance of being a well informed traveller.

Our dedicated team of researchers are familiar with the best places to gather travel information on the internet and are surrounded by an extensive library of travel books. We leave no stone unturned when meeting your requirements, even utilising an extensive network of international travel industry contacts and people on the ground.

The best and most reliable travel information is taken from a wide range of sources - authorative and amateur. We don't just deliver homegrown material resulting from our research and experience but provide extensive links and suggestions for other material so that you know exactly where to turn to find out more on your own. We'll let you know which books you can read that might be of interest, which films to watch and what music to listen to.

We are waiting to harvest your information and deliver it to you fresh from the vine.

We are not aiming to remove the novelty and excitement of planning a trip abroad. The learning and research involved in the weeks/months leading up to a trip away is extremely important and needs to be carried out by the traveller themselves. Don't waste your time trawling through travel forums and blogs, hopping backwards and forwards from bookshops, let us do that for you but still with a human touch.

Do you need to know about border crossings? the route travellers are taking through specific countries? the historical importance of a place? why a volcano exists where it does? the best time of year to travel? events occurring when you want to visit? All of our information is designed to give you a sense of place and emphasises the social, environmental and economical aspects of a destination.

Whether you already have a detailed itinerary or simply a destination in mind, provide us with some questions and areas you'd like to find out more on and we will get to work harvesting exactly what you need.

We are not interested in booking your flights, accommodation or tours. We want to give you direct access to the information you need and provide you with a sense of place, making it easier for you to plan your travels and understand the bigger picture.
